Umbra Rimorchi fixed swan neck towbar + 13P wiring for Range Rover Evoque (09/11–12/18)
If you want a proper, no-nonsense towing solution that just gets on with the job, this is it. It’s an EC Type-approved, bolt-on fixed swan neck towbar engineered to fit the manufacturer’s authorised mount points on Range Rover Evoque models built between 09/2011 and 12/2018. Finished in black primer to help fend off corrosion, the design has been run through more than two million push and pull cycles — so it’s built to last, not a flimsy bit of kit that gives up after a couple of trips to the caravan site.
Built for proper towing
Whether you’re towing a trailer, a family caravan or a small horsebox, this towbar will handle it. It’s rated to a maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg with a nose weight of 150 kg and a D-value of 10.65 kN — squarely in the 2-tonne bracket used for most family caravans and medium trailers. The 13‑pin female socket supports both 12V and 24V systems, so your lighting and auxiliary functions are covered for modern trailers and accessories.
Fit, finish and what’s in the box
The kit includes the EC 94/20 / UK-approved towbar, a 13‑pin wiring loom, zinc-coated high-tensile bolts (grade 8.8 or above) and fitting instructions. The towbar arrives painted in black primer and is a bolt-on installation using the vehicle’s original mounting points — no cutting, no bodges, just straightforward fitting where it belongs.
- The primer finish helps prevent rust and keeps the towbar looking tidy for longer.
- High-tensile, zinc-coated bolts resist corrosion and give a solid, safe connection.
- The 13‑pin female connector supplies full lighting and auxiliary functions for trailers.
Things to check before you fit
There are a few practical things to check so you’re not faffing about on the day. If your Evoque has a non-standard bumper (Sport, Titanium, Zetec styling variants or Ford-compatible bumper types) double-check compatibility first. Cars with twin or aftermarket exhausts may need modifications — the standard approvals are based on single-exhaust models. If your vehicle runs CAN bus or LED lights, the universal wiring might need an additional interface module; it’s worth confirming beforehand. Also note that locks and keys for some detachable towbar designs aren’t included and are sold separately, so factor that cost in if you need one.
Practical benefits and typical uses
This is a practical towbar for everyday use: towing a caravan to the coast, hauling a trailer for DIY or garden waste, or fitting a bike rack for a weekend away. The coated finish and robust bolts mean less upkeep, and the EC approval gives you the peace of mind that it’s been designed and tested to recognised standards — which is particularly handy in winter when salt and corrosion can do for lesser kit.
